Eli Manning has revealed why he wasn’t part of the cast that roasted Tom Brady on Sunday night.
Brady was the subject of a brutal Netflix roast streamed live from the platform, with Eli’s brother, Peyton Manning, involved. While his name came up several times, especially when Will Ferrell’s iconic Ron Burgundy character took the stage, Eli was not present.
The three-hour event saw former teammates, coaches, and rivals take shots at Brady, even ripping him over his failed marriage. Fans would have probably loved to hear from Eli Manning.
He’s since tweeted that he’s tired of roasting Brady, having already done it twice.
“I thought about attending the Roast of Tom Brady last night, but I did not want to Roast him for a 3rd time!!” he quipped online.

Eli Manning Was A Thorn In Tom Brady’s Side
Tom Brady won seven Super Bowls over the course of his career, but he came out on the losing end on three occasions. Two of those three Super Bowl losses were to Eli Manning and the New York Giants.
Brady is still not over any of his losses.
“I’m not over any of the Super Bowl losses,” he said on his Let’s Go podcast earlier this year. “I am still mad. Sixteen years later, in ’07. I’m still mad, the 2011 Super Bowl, I’m still mad we lost to the [Philadelphia] Eagles.”
